Laser engraving painted wood

Discussion
5

I’m one of the laser techs.

This is my suggested approach, in order of operation:

  1. Look at the permitted/forbidden list on the Tools Page.
  2. Look at the datasheet for the product and see if it is specifically listed as “laser safe”.
  3. Look at the Trotec youtube channels (USA, Canada) and see if they cover the user of the material.
  4. Look at the official Trotec materials shop for an equivalent material.
  5. Ask on discourse.
  6. If you are still unclear, ask the laser techs for “permission” to experiment

Hope that helps.
